At night, Ye Lin sat cross-legged atop the city wall, gazing at the boundless darkness overhead.
Beyond the light barrier lay utter blackness; one could not see their own hand before their face.
From within it came waves of howls, echoing throughout the city and making everyone's skin crawl.
Countless cultivators frowned at the darkness. The howls seemed to contain some power that affected the mind, leaving these mighty figures deeply agitated.
Forget them—even Ye Lin was irritated beyond measure.
The howls echoed by his ears, making it impossible for him to enter meditation. The moment he closed his eyes, the sounds filled his ears.
Even if he did not wish to listen, the sounds still forced their way into his mind, impossible to guard against.
And if one's cultivation were any lower, the howls might affect their mind and cause them to suffer cultivation deviation. It was terrifying in the extreme.
For instance, some Primordial Unity Golden Immortal cultivators within the city already had bloodshot eyes, and the aura around them had begun to riot.
Yet they did not make any moves, because Daluo Golden Immortal experts had them suppressed.
"Damn it, will this ever end?"
At last, a Daluo Golden Immortal expert could no longer endure it. With an angry curse, he gripped his long blade and charged beyond the light barrier.
In an instant, terrifying fluctuations of laws erupted from within the darkness.
"Sigh, these newcomers do not even have this much patience."
Within the city, some cultivators who had been here for a long time shook their heads and laughed.
Having stayed here so long, they had long grown used to it. It was only thirty double-hours, after all; they could simply endure it.
But these newcomers were just too impulsive.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Thunderous explosions
